🎉 Let’s Celebrate Emojis

🌟 We use emojis every day, so why not celebrate them? Welcome to 🌏 World Emoji Day. Join in the celebration on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #WorldEmojiDay.

🙋 Why July 17?

July 17 1 is famously displayed on the iOS Calendar Emoji, which is why we chose it as the date for World Emoji Day.

Even if you are using a system with a different calendar emoji, that shouldn’t stop you joining in this global celebration of emojis! The date is part the reason this day was chosen, but the day is much bigger than just one emoji.
